"I got a phone call from my wife that Harry Styles was standing on the doorstep. I didn't think he would come to pick them up," he added.

In the afternoon, Harry and Taylor - who have been given the nickname Haylor - drove to the quaint village of Great Budworth, where they grabbed a bite to eat at a local pub.

The pair have not confirmed they are more than friends, but sparked speculation they are an item after they were seen spending time together around the UK, where they hung out with Harry's sister Gemma and his parents.
